🔍 Cannot delete form in 1040-Individual package SureFire
This can occur when a form was added to the return through the Interview Sheet.
When certain answers on the Interview Sheet are marked Yes or No, it causes to load a form into the return for you to complete.
You cannot delete that form from the return until you change the related answer on the Interview Sheet.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Keep in mind:
- Forms that are loaded into memory are listed in the Tree, but they have no check mark beside the form name.
- Certain forms are automatically loaded into SureFire and cannot be deleted, such as Form 1040, the Main Info Sheet, and Form 6251.
If these forms do not have a check or exclamation point, they are not being printed or e-filed with the return.
📊 What to Do
Step 1: Check the Interview Sheet answer that triggered the form
Use this when you need to remove a form that was loaded based on Interview Sheet selections.
You cannot delete that form from the return until you change the related answer on the Interview Sheet.
Step 2: If the form is linked from another form, review the source form
Use this when the form is loading due to information flowing from another schedule or form.
NOTE: If the form has information that is linked from another form, such as the Schedule D or the Schedule EIC, the information that is flowing to that form makes it be loaded. If this is the case, you need to go to the supporting form and make sure that the information there is needed in the return.
